Welcome to J & R Excavation & Demolition Ltd

Providing a full range of residential, industrial and commercial excavation services to the lower mainland since 1972.

J&R Excavation & Demolition Ltd is now a second-generation family owned & operated company. Regehr Basic Works was first started in 1972 by Eckard Regehr as a small drainage installation operation that consisted of a shovel, a hard-working immigrant and a VW bug. By 1986, the company had grown and was incorporated to form J&R Excavation & Demolition Ltd, now offering a variety of excavation and dispatch services.

After growing up learning the business, Hubert Regehr has since taken over the helm from his father and is excited to now be working with his own children. With his detailed knowledge of machines and intricate understanding of drainage systems, Hubert can easily be considered an expert in the industry. While focusing on the Greater Vancouver area, the company has offered services to its customers from Kelowna to Vancouver Island.

We have used JR Excavation several times over the last decade and have always found the dispatching reliable, pricing as quoted and everyone who came onto our sites was always friendly and ready to work.
Most recently we used them for a stone slinging job where we needed to place mulch in an area where machines were not accessible on a terrace. Their new equipment was perfect for the job and it saved us days of labor and quite a nice cash savings as well.
If you are considering demolishing a house, back-filling your property or need aggregate placed with precision, then we would recommend JR Excavation as your goto contractor in Metro Vancouver.read more

I had JR Excavation work in tandem with another Vancouver Contractor on a rental property. The job was completed on-time and on budget. I would recommend Hubert and Team for any stone slinger services that you might need.read more

We did a major renovation of our house which included adding a new waterline out the front and putting in piping to aid with water issues in the backyard. When we came by to check on what was happening, the guy in the excavator was hand digging around a gas line that crossed where the waterline was going to go. I was impressed because a mere few weeks before, our neighbours had a crew break their gas line. They installed pipe in the backyard and since then, we have had no water issues back there.
All the guys were really polite and seemed intent on getting the job done. Our contractor had no issues with them.read more
